Hotel Kojan was a comfortable and budget-friendly place to stay. The room was spacious, especially by Japanese standards, which we really appreciated. The staff were friendly and generally very helpful.
The location was excellent—just a short walk to Dotonbori and surrounded by plenty of bars and places to eat. We highly recommend the onigiri place just a few doors down, and there’s also a nearby ramen spot that serves a delicious fire miso ramen.
There was a bit of a damp smell in the room when we first arrived, but it went away after we kept the air conditioning running during our stay, so it wasn’t a major issue.
We used the laundry service, which was convenient and a nice amenity. However, it’s worth noting that they seemed to use a hot drying setting, which caused some minor shrinking to our clothes. If you plan to use it, it might be a good idea to specify your preferences in advance. Still, it was great to have clean laundry taken care of.
Housekeeping came daily to change towels and take out the trash, except on the second-to-last day. We’re not sure if that was intentional or just an oversight, but it’s something to be aware of.
Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend Hotel Kojan to travelers looking for an affordable, comfortable, and well-located stay in Osaka.
